- Prepare snippets with date, time and prompted fields; review the result before copying.
- Extract editable text from saved screenshots, image files and image clips using on-device OCR.
- Preview plain-text, case, whitespace, URL and JSON transformations before copying.

Know what to expect
Automatic replacement of typed abbreviations, automatic pasting and cloud sync are not included. OCR results need review. Protected Clips are excluded from ordinary JSON exports. File clips store references rather than file contents. Privacy markers and app exclusions help, but cannot identify every secret automatically.

Features in practice
The feature list describes the available tools. These examples explain how they support a practical workflow, what to review and where the limits matter.
Prepare reusable text
Use snippets with date, time or prompted fields and preview supported text transformations before copying. Paste in the destination app with its normal paste command.
Turn images into editable text
On-device OCR can extract text from saved screenshots, image files and image clips. Check the recognised text before using it; accuracy depends on the source image.
Control what is retained
Pause capture, exclude apps and choose retention limits. Protected Clips can use Keychain-managed encryption; that protection should not be confused with encryption of every ordinary clipboard record.
Use the compatibility, access and limitation information on this page when choosing a workflow. Sample screenshots illustrate the app; their records and measured results are not a scan of your own Mac.
